The late George "Skip" Prosser enjoyed a 15-year career at Xavier as a head basketball coach and assistant coach.

Prosser led Xavier to four NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT berths in seven years as head coach. He ranks second on Xavier's all-time wins list for head coaches, having won 148 games in seven seasons at the helm in Cincinnati (1994-2001).

The only man ahead of Prosser on the list, Pete Gillen, had Prosser as his top assistant for 180 of his 202 wins from 1985-93. Prosser, the 1996-97 Basketball Times Mideast Coach of the Year and NABC District 10 Coach of the Year, was 148-65 (.695) as head coach at Xavier and his overall head coaching record was 291-146 (.667), which included stops at Loyola College and Wake Forest.

Prosser led Xavier to the 1998 Atlantic 10 Conference Championship and XU captured back-to-back Atlantic 10 West Division Regular Season Championships in 1997 and 1998.

Prosser's first Xavier team won the 1995 Midwestern Collegiate Conference Regular Season Championship with a perfect 14-0 mark, XU's last year in the MCC before Prosser led the Musketeers into their first A-10 season in 1995-96.
